Head Scratcher

I don’t know much about a broadcasting company that competes with Mid-West Family and Magic 98, but when I saw this headline I thought “this is a mistake.”

ENTERCOM’S WMMM/MADISON, WI midday host PAT GALLAGHER is exiting the station after 21 years due to budget cuts. His last day is 9/26.

I regularly check out every Madison radio station … AM, FM, Public, Religious, Rock … everything, just to know what’s happening. Pat Gallagher has the music passion, rapport with listeners and a long list of positive projects for Madison. I guess I should be happy when competitors make dumb moves, but not this time.
